kApplication led March 4, 1914. Serial No. 822,339.

To all whom t may Concern:

Be it known that l, KATHLEEN S. BIssnLL,

y a citizen of the United States, residing at Ashton, in the county of Osceola and'State yof Iowa, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Stove-Legs, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to stove legs having for its primary object to so construct the leg as to prevent the accumulation of dust, etc., therein and at the same time to in no way detract from the appearance of stove legs now in use.

A further object of the invention resides in the provision of a sanitary device of this character which besides associating with the leg an anti-dust collecting foot, likewise provides a leg which maybe readily attached to or detached from the stove when so desired in view of its simplicity of construction.

Other objects as well as the nature, characteristic features and scope of my invention will be more readily understood from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claim forming a part of this specification.

Referring to the drawings: Figure l is a perspective view yof a stove leg constructed in accordance with my invention; and ig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same.

In the drawings wherein is illustrated the preferred embodiment of this invention a stove leg 5 is provided which in the present instance is of the ordinary configuration having one side 6 thereof` removed and the upper end 7 thereof closed and having eX- tending from the free margin thereof a tongue 8, the latter adapted for engagement s with the stove base, said tongue having the free end thereof beveled in order to facilitate its engagement with the stove.

The lower end of the stove leg 5 is slightly reduced in diameter and is provided with an enlargement 9 between the opposite walls thereof to provide a foot, said foot having an inclined face l0 which extends downwardly and toward the open side 6 in order to prevent the accumulation of dust, etc., in the leg which has heretofore been a disadvantageous feature in devices of this character in View of the fact that the lower ends of the legs were provided with an ordinary closure such as the closurek 7 on the upper end of the leg in the present invention thereby allowing extraneous materials to collect therein proving unsanitary as well as inconvenient to clean.y The present stove leg is attached to the stove in the usual manner and even in view of the enlargement 9 is rendered but a trifle more expensive than stove legs now in use so as to provide a practical deviceand one which is inexpensive to manufacture.

It will be understood that the above description and accompanying drawings comprehend. only the general and preferred emproportion and arrangement of the parts may be made within the scope of the appended claim `and without sacrificing any of the advantages of my invention.

Having thus fully described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is A hollow stove leg including an integral casting the lower end of which is enlarged to provide a foot, said enlarged portion being inclined downwardly from the interior of the leg, and through one side, to deflect falling materials from within the leg, the lower terminal of said enlarged portion being flat for snug engagement with the floor, the outlet end of said inclined portion being appreciably above the plane of the floor to provide an abutment, for reducing possibility, of materials entering said leg to a minimum.

In testimony whereof l aix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
